Fluid Life Pilates

It’s not often I workout to music... Usually the rhythm is in the exercise and the tune is the musicality of the body and the movement itself... However, it’s important to stay open and today I guess my body’s musicality just happened to sound like epic post-hardcore punk. . What’s your workout, music or no music?... And if so what’s your fav tunes to flow to? . Music: Arcarsenal by @atthedrivein . . #pilates #pilatesworkout #movementismusic #motivation #core #coreworkout See more

Happy #earthday everyone! I would say be grateful for this incredible planet we are blessed to travel around the sun on, but gratitude alone is not enough. Action is required! . We’ve taken well beyond our needs from Mother Earth, giving nothing substantial in return. ... If you’re not sure how to show the planet some love, remember a small step is better than no step at all. Just a few simple personal actions can have a positive collective effect. . Even simple acts such as #meatfreemondays eliminating single use plastics, taking time to pick up trash in nature can help. Even better, support those organizations who are making a difference... If you’re not sure where to begin, here’s a few of my personal favs @seashepherd @surfersagainstsewage @robmachadofoundation @oceana . Let’s celebrate this beautiful world and see it as the beautifully powerful source it is, rather than just a resource. See more

Not part of the original 34, but I love the Thigh Stretch. There’s much gained from adding this exercise in to a mat sessions. For me the magic is the way it fires up the back body and challenges us to keep working with length and opposition, getting us all ready and prepped for so many exercises that lie ahead. . Do you have a favorite that doesn’t feature in Joe’s original 34?... . . . #pilates #pilatesmat #matiswhereitsat #contrology #powerhouse #core #coreworkout #joepilates #pilatesinstructor #menofpilates #pilatesforsurfers See more

Variety is the spice of life... . Challenging ourselves across a variety of movement modalities can be good for the body and our mental agility too. As can balancing our physical practice with calmer mindfulness activities. From a purely mental health perspective, I’ve personally found that I benefit greatly from a combination of calmer mindful practices (breath work, meditation & myofascial release) along with an opportunity to blow off steam and get out of my head for a whi...le... . If I’m honest, I tend to be inclined to pursue the latter, which is why practices such as Pilates or surfing are my happy place, as they have elements of both. . What activities do you gravitate towards? . If you’re in need of some mindfulness practices (or plenty of mind and body ones too), then follow #linkinbio to check out Azulfit YouTube channel for a variety of movement, meditation and breathing videos. . . . #breathwork #mindfulness #meditation #pilates #contrology #powerhouse #classicalpilates #posture #core #coreworkout #boxing #joepilates #pilateslovers #crosstraining See more

I’m looking forward to sharing this workshop.... Open to teachers and practitioners and anyone who’s a fan of breathing and moving. . The session will include a short look into the relevant science behind the breath and how it relates to the Pilates method, followed by experiencing some powerful breathing exercises to calm, focus and prepare for the Pilates adventures ahead. We’ll then dive into the mat work and experiment and explore how breathing can be used to create varia...tions, challenge, and accessibility across the work. Simply put, exploring the use of the breath as a tool rather than a rule. . Expect: Lots of moving, lots of fun and of course lots of deep lungfuls of Pilates adventure... . It’s a virtual workshop so you have to provide your own mat and air. . Link for details and registration in bio. Hope to see you there . . . #breath #breathe #breathworkshop #pilates #contrology #powerhouse #classicalpilates #posture #core #coreworkout #breathing #joepilates #pilateslovers #returntolife #inhale #breathingexercises See more
